Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We use a weighted review system which means that the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an Accommodation that you booked through our Platform if you stayed there or if you arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise in detecting fake reviews submitted to our Platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include 'hate speech', discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, and the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

United KingdomThe staff were absolutely incredible. Angela upgraded me to a double room on check-in, and Dan went above and beyond. I couldn't rate my welcome higher. The room was clean, the bed was comfortable (especially the pillows!!) and the shower was hot and powerful. I also ate in the bar, a halloumi wrap and chips which was delicious. Whites Hotel is hands down the best value for money hotel I have ever stayed in.

United KingdomI had booked a room with breakfast so was slightly disappointed to learn on arrival that the included breakfast was a breakfast box to be collected from reception, with a cooked breakfast available at a supplement. HOWEVER I should say that the Full English Breakfast for which I did pay the supplement was excellent and turned out to be good value.
A friendly and attentive welcome at check-in. Spacious and well-fitted bedroom (double room for single occupancy) and good bathroom. I took advantage of the Resident's discount on food and drink in Bar Blanc and enjoyed an excellent sirloin steak.

BrazilThe announcement is a little misleading as the pictures shown are of new rooms and we were given old ones. The deposit of 50 pounds was surprising, considering how old the room was. The pillows were old and thin, or old and hard. There's no air conditioning, and I'm pointing this out because we're so used to hotels having air conditioner, that we were surprised when we got to the room and there wasn't any, and I'm sure that may happen to other people as well, so that's a warning, and it was especially bad as we were in a heatwave. There's a small, dusty fan, and windows that barely opened. The WiFi is free, but only if you ask for the password. When showering, the box was small and water didn't drain as fast as it should, pooling around my feet a significant amount. The bathroom floor was also sticky. I was there with my wife, and there were two bathing towels: one of good quality, and another that was thin, small and looking run down, so we just shared the good one. One of the reasons why the hotel sounded attracting on Booking was that there was breakfast included, and when we got there, we found out breakfast was an unripe banana, a bottle of water, juice in a box, an Aldi's pain au chocolate and an oats and honey bar (in my case), and a croissant and 3 small cookies (in my wife's case), all in a bag. Overall it served its purpose (a bed to sleep in), but for the price we paid, it surely was a very disappointing and frustrating experience.
There's free WiFi and it's well-located. There's also free parking.
